Tim, I’ll be happy to send you a PDF of my books for free, so you don’t need to invest in anything. Also, you can simply download the Kindle Reader to any computer (for free) in order to read Kindle eBooks so there’s no need to buy a tablet for the purpose, especially if you already have a good monitor. If you’d like the PDFs, just message me with your email address and I’ll forward them to you as attachments.
